Welcome

 WHAT’S ON MY MIND                               SAMPLES                                     ABOUT ALEX

HIGHWAY TO HELL is currently due for re-publication under the MayDecember Publications banner in late 2012.

Heaven and Hell, Angel and Demons, these things were once considered opposites, but now you will see that they are neighbors, allies…. friends.

Marcus, Becky, Richard, Helen, Sammy and Graham. All complete strangers, different ages, backgrounds and even countries, but they all have one major thing in common…
They all must DIE.

Sentenced to offer their penance in the many chambers of Hell, their lives are nothing but a torturous experience. They are brought face to face with their past, their mistakes and the implications that had for others. Until one by one they are rescued and thrown together. Waking in a dying world, they are introduced to their rescuers who do anything but conform to their angelic stereotype.
Together, bonded by an unknown destiny the group is set on their quest; to find one individual buried deep within the many Hell worlds. Not only does the fate of their world rest on their shoulders, but that of existence itself.

Rated: 4 out of 5 stars

Alex Laybourne draws on vivid, unrelenting “catholic” visions of a mediaevalist hell as he drives us through a modern, far more terrifying, version of a Dante Alighieri like Hell. As I read the grim horror, of Laybourne’s dark prose I found myself imagining some inquisitorial preacher spouting a very similar vision of “Hell and Damnation” from his high pulpit, lashing his sinful parish to follow his idea of God through fear for their mortal souls.  Read the rest of the review here. –
